I’ve been seeking to start building a relationship with a breeder because i’m looking for a SD prospect for next year. I started with the club of america and health foundation websites and have emailed well over a dozen breeders within the last 6 months and only two have gotten back to me, both saying they have no planned litters within the next few years.

Has anyone else had this much trouble with getting in contact with breeders?
If not what was your experience? At this point i’m willing to travel farther than planned.
But i need a breeder that prioritizes health and temperament, along with carefully placing pups based on individual family needs/lifestyles, etc..
